edited for accuracy and a fair amount of smuggness on my part......glad to have been of assistance

Doesn't look like anyone will have to dump Celtic, look like they are going to manage it all on their own

Dump Quins out of Sl, no need for them and Catalans so close to each other.

Boo I say, Booooooooooo!

Replace Quins with a 3rd team from Hull.

How about another club half-way between Leeds and Bradford?

Myton Warrior will need a bigger clubhouse and stand building to match KRs millions oif supporters



Better get rid of Quins and put the scholars instead, makes perfect sense to me. Then again I do still believe in the earth being flat, the Surrey panther, the loch ness monster, The royal family killed Diana and the moon landings where done in a studio.

If anyone wants to merge I can think of a couple of clubs with experience in this field

surely the Isle of Man needs a team in super league ?

I do believe all four of these to be true, actually.

Catalans have proved their worth; although the London club has little support, the expansion of the amateur and schoolboy game down there is immense; Celtic....bit soon to tell.

My only thought on this is that the average fan has to pay a lot of money each season to travel to watch their team play.
We need a team in london
One in France is enough, if Toulouse make it then fair enough, but has to be by their own steam.
Celtic, don't think this one will work.
Magic weekend - sack it off, promote Widnes and Halifax instead.

Getting rid of the magic weekend would in no way help to make it possible for the rfl to promote two more teams. Toulouse are a viable franchise opportunity.

I am unsure how 2 French sides will help the game. As I am unsure as to how the Magic weekend helps the game.
We may dive backwards in quality of some of the players on view if you had more sides in SL, but as an FC fan, cannot see how it could get worse for us!

Put it this way, I would rather go to Widnes and Fax than Magic, Quins or Celtic. my own personal view.

why is this thread still here ?

It's a fair point, but it's not about the 'average fans' money these days, it's about television money.

People may not like it but we wouldn't even have a sport to follow without it.

We ' manage ' in the Championships

Bar one or two teams, we in the championship are not running clubs with full time overheads, are we?

Sorry M'lud I didn't know RL was a different sport to the one ' we ' play in our pit villages

Patronising git

You do know I'm a York fan, don't you?

So if there was no TV money how exactly would things be different ?

You honestly think there would be an elite 14 team full time league without any TV money?

Because, despite it being a blatant and p1sspoor Ocker troll, people keep responding to it.

No there wouldn't , but there would still be probably a top league of 12 teams , some F/T and some P/T

But we would still have a sport , and quite possibly a better one than we have now

Thats your opinion, and fair enough.

I don't agree with it at all, but still.

Highly unlikely. The sport was on the brink of collapse in 1995 when the SL proposal was made.

Its time for a big change, SKY has too much influence on the game, The RFL perform as Gimmicky Amateurs, too many overseas players killing development, no international status, mystic meg referees.

The british game needs a complete overall, Richard Lewis ruined british tennis sport, looks as though he put us down the same path with Rugby League.

And it would be called the Guinness Premiership mate.
